"The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers defended his faith and maintained the band is staying neutral in the upcoming presidential election in an interview with The Guardian. Though he&amp;apos;s had lunch at Caesar&amp;apos;s Palace with Mitt Romney, and says he&amp;apos;s fine with the GOP candidate&amp;apos;s affinity for his band, Flowers has turned down requests from both the Obama and Romney camps for his support. &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re neutral,&amp;quot; said Flowers. &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;ve never really embraced one side or the other, or used our success to really preach like that.&amp;quot; The Killers have been more demonstrative in their support for Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, which Flowers says is a more personal situation.&amp;#xA0;&amp;quot;We have a different connection to Harry. Harry knows my aunt Barbara,&amp;quot; he said.\r\nThe Mormon rocker also defended his faith when asked about his recent Swedish TV interview with atheist Richard Dawkins. &amp;quot;Yeah, let me say this. I gave some decent answers that were edited out. So, the world is against the Christian man,&amp;quot; he said. But for Flowers, quibbles between science and religion are a moot point. &amp;quot;For [Dawkins], he sees the beauty in science proving something and finding out origins of things. And that&amp;apos;s enough for him. Nothing that science will ever find will disprove that God had a hand in it, for me,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;So it&amp;apos;s a useless debate. And nothing that has been found has changed the gospel that I believe in.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
